HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! Three posts in a week! Who even am I anymore? This week has been blissfully uneventful. My husband and I went to look at RVs although I doubt there is one in our near future. It would be such a fun thing to have though! I also made my […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! Look, a post! This week hasn’t been stressful, I’ve just been trying to relax and get back into the normal groove of things now that it seems like things MIGHT be calming down.

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic, but I feel like I’m MAYBE going to be settling in for a bit of quiet now. Two weeks ago I drove up to North Carolina to spend time with my brother and help my mom out a bit […]
Heyyyy look! My first discussion post since *checks notes* March! Let’s do this! I’ve always liked to think that I don’t have guilty pleasure reads, but the last few months have taught me that I absolutely do. It isn’t necessarily that I feel embarrassed about reading them, although that is sometimes the case. Most of […]
Today’s Topic: Top Ten Books I Loved but Haven’t Reviewed Happy Tuesday!

Happy Saturday, everyone! It has been A WHILE since I’ve done one of these. Before you judge me, keep in mind this is a roundup of everything I’ve watched since March and we’ve been in quarantine. So I don’t want to hear it. Since there are SO many, I’m only going to talk about the […]
Hi everyone! Because I’ve been so MIA lately, I completely missed posting my summer TBR for Top Ten Tuesday. Since I love these lists so much I decided I’m just going to post it now anyway! I’ve been reading a lot more backlist books since the pandemic began, or at least fewer ARCs and new […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! I’m back after some much needed time away to process everything that’s happened.
